Numbers 12
1 And Mariam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of the Ethiopian woman whom Moses took; for he had taken an Ethiopian woman.
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, on account of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for an Ethiopian woman had he married.
2 And they said, Has the Lord spoken to Moses only? has he not also spoken to us? and the Lord heard it.
And they said, Hath then only with Moses the Lord spoken? hath he not also spoken with us? And the Lord heard it.
3 And the man Moses was very meek beyond all the men that were upon the earth.
(But the man Moses was very meek, more so than any man who was upon the face of the earth.)
4 And the Lord said immediately to Moses and Aaron and Mariam, Come forth all three of you to the tabernacle of witness.
And the Lord said suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Go out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation; and these three went out.
5 And the three came forth to the tabernacle of witness; and the Lord descended in a pillar of a cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and Mariam were called; and both came forth.
And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and he called Aaron and Miriam, and both of them went out.
6 And he said to them, Hear my words: If there should be of you a prophet to the Lord, I will be made known to him in a vision, and in sleep will I speak to him.
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet of your kind, I, the Lord, do make myself known unto him in a vision, in a dream do I speak with him.
7 My servant Moses [is] not so; he is faithful in all my house.
Not so is my servant Moses, in all my house is he faithful.
8 I will speak to him mouth to mouth apparently, and not in dark speeches; and he has seen the glory of the Lord; and why were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
Mouth to mouth do I speak with him, even evidently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord doth he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
9 And the great anger of the Lord [was] upon them, and he departed.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he went away.
10 And the cloud departed from the tabernacle; and, behold, Mariam was leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron looked upon Mariam, and, behold, she [was] leprous.
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
11 And Aaron said to Moses, I beseech you, my lord, do not lay sin upon us, for we were ignorant wherein we sinned.
Then said Aaron unto Moses, Alas, my Lord, do not, I beseech thee, account to us as sin that wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12 Let her not be as it were like death, as an abortion coming out of his mother's womb, when [the disease] devours the half of the flesh.
Let her not be as a dead-born child, of which half the flesh is consumed, when it cometh out of its mother's womb.
13 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, O God, I beseech you, heal her.
And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, O God! do thou heal her, I beseech thee.
14 And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had only spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be set apart seven days without the camp, and afterwards she shall come in.
And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up seven days outside of the camp, and after that let her be brought in again.
15 And Mariam was separated without the camp seven days; and the people moved not forward till Mariam was cleansed.
And Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days; and the people did not set forward till Miriam was brought in again.
16 And afterwards the people set forth from Aseroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Pharan.
And afterward the people removed from Chazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
